<div class="descr">
<h2 id="details">Detailed Description</h2>
<p>A session manager in a desktop environment (in which Qt GUI applications live) keeps track of a session, which is a group of running applications, each of which has a particular state. The state of an application contains (most notably) the documents the application has open and the position and size of its windows.</p>
<p>The session manager is used to save the session, e.g&#x2e;, when the machine is shut down, and to restore a session, e.g&#x2e;, when the machine is started up. We recommend that you use <a href="../qtcore/qsettings.html">QSettings</a> to save an application's settings, for example, window positions, recently used files, etc. When the application is restarted by the session manager, you can restore the settings.</p>
<p>QSessionManager provides an interface between the application and the platform's session manager. In Qt, session management requests for action are handled by the two signals <a href="qguiapplication.html#commitDataRequest">QGuiApplication::commitDataRequest</a>() and <a href="qguiapplication.html#saveStateRequest">QGuiApplication::saveStateRequest</a>(). Both provide a reference to a QSessionManager object as argument. The session manager can only be accessed in slots invoked by these signals.</p>
<p><b>Warning:</b> If you use QSessionManager, you should disable fallback session management: <a href="qguiapplication.html#setFallbackSessionManagementEnabled">QGuiApplication::setFallbackSessionManagementEnabled</a>().</p>
<p>No user interaction is possible <i>unless</i> the application gets explicit permission from the session manager. You ask for permission by calling <a href="qsessionmanager.html#allowsInteraction">allowsInteraction</a>() or, if it is really urgent, <a href="qsessionmanager.html#allowsErrorInteraction">allowsErrorInteraction</a>(). Qt does not enforce this, but the session manager may.</p>
<p>You can try to abort the shutdown process by calling <a href="qsessionmanager.html#cancel">cancel</a>().</p>
<p>For sophisticated session managers provided on Unix/X11, QSessionManager offers further possibilities to fine-tune an application's session management behavior: <a href="qsessionmanager.html#setRestartCommand">setRestartCommand</a>(), <a href="qsessionmanager.html#setDiscardCommand">setDiscardCommand</a>(), <a href="qsessionmanager.html#setRestartHint">setRestartHint</a>(), <a href="../qtcore/qobject.html#setProperty">setProperty</a>(), <a href="qsessionmanager.html#requestPhase2">requestPhase2</a>(). See the respective function descriptions for further details.</p>

<!-- $$$allowsErrorInteraction[overload1]$$$allowsErrorInteraction -->
<h3 class="fn" id="allowsErrorInteraction"><a name="allowsErrorInteraction"></a><span class="type">bool</span> QSessionManager::<span class="name">allowsErrorInteraction</span>()</h3>
<p>Returns <code>true</code> if error interaction is permitted; otherwise returns <code>false</code>.</p>
<p>This is similar to <a href="qsessionmanager.html#allowsInteraction">allowsInteraction</a>(), but also enables the application to tell the user about any errors that occur. Session managers may give error interaction requests higher priority, which means that it is more likely that an error interaction is permitted. However, you are still not guaranteed that the session manager will allow interaction.</p>
<p><b>See also </b><a href="qsessionmanager.html#allowsInteraction">allowsInteraction</a>(), <a href="qsessionmanager.html#release">release</a>(), and <a href="qsessionmanager.html#cancel">cancel</a>().</p>

<!-- $$$allowsInteraction[overload1]$$$allowsInteraction -->
<h3 class="fn" id="allowsInteraction"><a name="allowsInteraction"></a><span class="type">bool</span> QSessionManager::<span class="name">allowsInteraction</span>()</h3>
<p>Asks the session manager for permission to interact with the user. Returns true if interaction is permitted; otherwise returns <code>false</code>.</p>
<p>The rationale behind this mechanism is to make it possible to synchronize user interaction during a shutdown. Advanced session managers may ask all applications simultaneously to commit their data, resulting in a much faster shutdown.</p>
<p>When the interaction is completed we strongly recommend releasing the user interaction semaphore with a call to <a href="qsessionmanager.html#release">release</a>(). This way, other applications may get the chance to interact with the user while your application is still busy saving data. (The semaphore is implicitly released when the application exits.)</p>
<p>If the user decides to cancel the shutdown process during the interaction phase, you must tell the session manager that this has happened by calling <a href="qsessionmanager.html#cancel">cancel</a>().</p>

<p>The <code>-session</code> option is mandatory; otherwise <a href="qguiapplication.html">QGuiApplication</a> cannot tell whether it has been restored or what the current session identifier is.

<p>If your application is very simple, it may be possible to store the entire application state in additional command line options.

Instead, use <a href="../qtcore/qsettings.html">QSettings</a>, temporary files, or a database for this purpose.

<p>Sets the application's restart hint to <i>hint</i>. On application startup, the hint is set to <code>RestartIfRunning</code>.</p>
<p><b>Note: </b>These flags are only hints, a session manager may or may not respect them.</p><p>We recommend setting the restart hint in <a href="qguiapplication.html#saveStateRequest">QGuiApplication::saveStateRequest</a>() because most session managers perform a checkpoint shortly after an application's startup.</p>
